I have seen increased Klez activity, but all have been stop by our AV, with is Symantec newest version. Haven't noticed any other activity outside of what has been stopped.

Subject: klez variant??

Over the past 2 days, we have been seeing a resurgence of Klez type activity. However, this appears to be getting past our a/v software. The symptoms we see are:

• spoofed email address
• unusual subject
• no body
• attachments with .scr, .bat, .exe, .jpg extensions (there may be others, but this is what we've examined so far)
• when the email is opened, even in preview pane, it launches Media Player but is unable to find the specified file.

Has anyone else seen this type of activity lately, or have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Peter
